Transmitter and REceiver Binding / Switching ON and OFF SAFE Select

General Binding Tips

• The included receiver has been specifically programmed for operation of this aircraft. Refer to the receiver manual for correct setup if the receiver is replaced.

• Keep away from large metal objects while binding.

• Do not point the transmitter’s antenna directly at the receiver while binding.

• The orange LED on the receiver will flash rapidly when the receiver enters bind mode.

• Once bound, the receiver will retain its bind settings for that transmitter until you re-bind.

• If the receiver loses transmitter communication, the failsafe will activate.

Failsafe moves the throttle channel to low throttle. Pitch and roll channels move to actively stabilize the aircraft in a descending turn.

• If problems occur, refer to the troubleshooting guide or if needed, contact the appropriate Horizon Product Support office.

SAFE Select Technology, Optional Flight Envelope Protection

The BNF Basic version of this airplane includes SAFE Select technology, enabling you to choose the level of flight protection. SAFE mode includes angle limits and automatic self leveling. AS3X mode provides the pilot with a direct response to the control sticks. SAFE Select is enabled or disabled during the bind process.

With SAFE Select disabled the aircraft is always in AS3X mode. With SAFE Select enabled the aircraft will be in SAFE Select mode all the time, or you can assign a switch to toggle between SAFE Select and AS3X modes.

Thanks to SAFE Select technology, this aircraft can be configured for full-time SAFE mode, full-time AS3X mode, or mode selection can be assigned to a switch.

IMPORTANT: Before binding, read the transmitter setup section in this manual and complete the transmitter setup table to ensure your transmitter is properly programmed for this aircraft.

IMPORTANT: Move the transmitter flight controls (rudder, elevators, and ailerons) and the throttle trim to neutral. Move the throttle to low before and during binding. This process defines the failsafe settings.

You can use either the bind button on the receiver case OR a conventional bind plug to complete the binding and SAFE Select process.

Select Switch Designation BNF

Once SAFE Select is enabled, you can choose to fly in SAFE mode full-time, or assign a switch. Any switch on any channel between 5 and 9 can be used on your transmitter.

If the aircraft is bound with SAFE Select disabled, the aircraft will be in AS3X mode exclusively.

CAUTION: Keep all body parts well clear of the propeller and keep the aircraft securely restrained in case of accidental throttle activation.

IMPORTANT: To be able to assign a switch, first verify:

• The aircraft was bound with SAFE Select enabled.

• Your choice for the SAFE Select switch is assigned to a channel between

5 and 9 (Gear, Aux1-4), and travel is set at 100% in each direction.

• The aileron, elevator, rudder and throttle direction are set to normal, not reverse.

• The aileron, elevator, rudder and throttle are set to 100% travel. If dual rates are in use, the switches need to be in the 100% position.

See your transmitter manual for more information about assigning a switch to a channel.

Assigning a Switch

1. Power on the transmitter.

2. Power on the aircraft.

3. Hold both transmitter sticks to the inside bottom corners, and toggle the desired switch 5 times quickly (1 toggle = full up and down).

4. The control surfaces of the aircraft will move, indicating the switch has been selected.

Thrust Reversing (optional)

The Avian™ Smart ESC in this aircraft is equipped with thrust reversing, but it must be enabled before it will function. Reversing the motor can be helpful when taxiing or for shortening ground roll after a landing. Flipping the designated switch reverses motor rotation, throttle will still control motor speed.

WARNING : Never attempt to use thrust reversing in flight. Applying reverse thrust while in flight will result in loss of control and possibly a crash. Crash damage is not covered under warranty.

IMPORTANT: The motor will draw more current in reverse as the propeller becomes less efficient and creates more drag. This can reduce flight time.

IMPORTANT: Thrust reversing requires a Spektrum receiver with Smart

Throttle (including the AR637TA and AR631) and a Spektrum transmitter with a minimum of 7 channels. The Avian ESC is also backwards compatible with conventional receivers (PWM output signal) for normal operation, but reversing functions are only available with Smart Throttle technology.

Thrust Reversing Setup

Transmitter

On the transmitter, select an open channel (not already in use), and assign it to an open switch. Use a different channel for thrust reversing and SAFE Select.

Motor reversing is assigned to Aux 2/Channel 7, by default, in the Smart ESC.

If SAFE Select and the ESC are assigned to the same channel, the motor will reverse in flight.

WARNING : Do not assign thrust reversing and SAFE Select to the same channel. Doing so will reverse the motor when SAFE Select is enabled during flight, resulting in a crash.

ESC

Set up the transmitter according to the setup chart, and bind your transmitter to the airplane. The airplane must be powered on and bound to the transmitter to access the Smart ESC programming.

As an alternative, it is possible to program the ESC with the Smart ESC

Programming Box (SPMXCA200, optional, not included).

AS3X Control Response Test

This test ensures that the AS3X ® control system is functioning properly.

Assemble the aircraft and bind your transmitter to the receiver before performing this test.

1. Raise the throttle just above 25%, then lower the throttle to activate AS3X.

CAUTION: Keep all body parts, hair and loose clothing away from a moving propeller, as these items could become entangled.

2. Move the entire aircraft as shown and ensure the control surfaces move in the direction indicated in the graphic. If the control surfaces do not respond as shown, do not fly the aircraft. Refer to the receiver manual for more information.

Once the AS3X system is active, control surfaces may move rapidly. This is normal. AS3X remains active until the battery is disconnected.

Aircraft movement

AS3X Reaction

EN

Center of Gravity (CG)

The CG location is measured from the leading edge of the wing at the root.

This CG location has been determined with the recommended Li-Po battery

(SPMX22004S30) installed in the center of the battery tray.

CAUTION: Install the battery but do not arm the ESC while checking the CG. Personal injury may result.

In-Flight Trimming

During your first flight, trim the aircraft for level flight at 3/4 throttle. Make small trim adjustments with your transmitter’s trim switches to achieve straight and level flight.

After adjusting trim do not touch the control sticks for 3 seconds. This allows the receiver to learn the correct settings to optimize AS3X performance.

Failure to do so could affect flight performance.

Flying Tips and Repairs

Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a flying location.

Range Check your Radio System

Before you fly, range check the radio system. Refer to your specific transmitter instruction manual for range test information.

Oscillation

Once the AS3X system is active (after advancing the throttle for the first time), you will normally see the control surfaces react to aircraft movement. In some flight conditions you may see oscillation (the aircraft rocks back and forth on one axis due to overcontrol). If oscillation occurs, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide for more information.

Takeoff

Place the aircraft in position for takeoff (facing into the wind). Select low rates for first takeoff and gradually increase the throttle to 3/4 to full and steer with the rudder. Pull back gently on the elevator and climb to a comfortable altitude.

Flying

For your first flights with the recommended battery pack (SPMX22004S30), set your transmitter timer or a stopwatch to 3 minutes. After four minutes, land the aircraft. Adjust your timer for longer or shorter flights once you have flown the model.

Fly the aircraft and trim it for level flight in Precision Mode at 3/4 throttle. After landing, adjust the linkages mechanically to account for trim changes and then reset the trims to neutral. Ensure the aircraft will fly straight and level with no trim or sub-trim.

NOTICE: Due to the high-performance nature of the Ultimate 3D’s power system, we recommend allowing the motor to cool to ambient temperature between flights when using 4S batteries and flying aggressively in temperatures of 90+°F (approximately 32+°C).

Landing

To land the aircraft, fly the aircraft down to the ground using 1/4 –1/3 throttle to allow for enough energy for a proper flare. The aircraft is easiest to land doing a wheel landing (two point), where the aircraft touches down on the main landing gear first while the tailwheel is still off the ground. The aircraft can also be landed in a three-point attitude, where all three wheels touch down at the same time.

When the aircraft touches down, reduce back pressure on the elevator stick to prevent the plane from becoming airborne again.

If landing on grass, it is best to hold full up elevator after touchdown and when taxiing to prevent nosing over.

Once on the ground, avoid sharp turns until the plane has slowed enough to prevent scraping the wingtips.

WARNING: Always decrease throttle at propeller strike.

NOTICE: If a crash is imminent, reduce the throttle and trim fully. Failure to do so could result in extra damage to the airframe, as well as damage to the

ESC and motor.

NOTICE: After any impact, always ensure the receiver is secure in the fuselage. If you replace the receiver, install the new receiver in the same orientation as the original receiver or damage may result.

NOTICE: Crash damage is not covered under warranty.

NOTICE: When you are finished flying, never leave the aircraft in direct sunlight or in a hot, enclosed area such as a car. Doing so can damage the aircraft.

Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)

When a Li-Po battery is discharged below 3V per cell, it will not hold a charge.

The ESC protects the flight battery from over-discharge using Low Voltage

Cutoff (LVC). Before the battery charge decreases too much, LVC removes power supplied to the motor. Disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the aircraft after use to prevent trickle discharge. Charge your Li-Po battery to about half capacity before storage. During storage, make sure the battery charge does not fall below 3V per cell. LVC does not prevent the battery from over-discharge during storage.

NOTICE: Repeated flying to LVC will damage the battery.

Tip : Monitor your aircraft battery’s voltage before and after flying by using a Li-Po

Cell Voltage Checker (SPMXBC100, sold separately).

Repairs

Thanks to the EPO foam material in this aircraft, repairs to the foam can be made using virtually any adhesive (hot glue, regular CA, epoxy, etc). When parts are not repairable, see the Replacement Parts List for ordering by item number. For a listing of all replacement and optional parts, refer to the list at the end of this manual.

NOTICE: Use of CA accelerant on your aircraft can damage paint.

DO NOT handle the aircraft until accelerant fully dries.

SAFE

®

Select Flying Tips

When flying in SAFE Select mode the aircraft will return to level flight any time the aileron and elevator controls are at neutral. Applying aileron or elevator control will cause the airplane to bank, climb or dive. The amount the stick is moved will determine the attitude the airplane flies. Holding full control will push the aircraft to the pre-determined bank and roll limits, but it will not go past those angles.

When flying with SAFE Select, it is normal to hold the control stick deflected with moderate aileron input when flying through a turn. To fly smoothly with

SAFE Select, avoid making frequent control changes and don’t attempt to correct for minor deviations. Holding deliberate control inputs will command the aircraft to fly at a specific angle, and the model will make all corrections to maintain that flight attitude.

When flying with SAFE Select, throttle will make the aircraft climb or descend.

Full throttle will cause the aircraft to pitch up and climb slightly. Mid throttle will keep the airplane flying level. Low throttle will cause the airplane to descend slightly nose-down.

Return the elevator and aileron controls to neutral before switching from SAFE

Select mode to AS3X mode. If you do not neutralize controls when switching into AS3X mode, the control inputs used for SAFE Select mode will be excessive for AS3X mode and the aircraft will react immediately.
